Ok so it's got a lot of other stuff besides sweet potatoes, but it's delicious and it's totally in season right now.

Apple kielbasa Bake

Makes 6 servings
4 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
1 large red onion, cut into chunks
16-ounce turkey/chicken kielbasa, sliced in 1/2-inch-thick rounds
2 large sweet potatoes, cut into chunks
2 baking apples, such as Cortland, peeled, cored and cut into chunks
6 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons dried sage
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, toss together the Brussels sprouts, onion, kielbasa, potatoes, apples and carrots. Drizzle the oil over the mixture, then toss again. Sprinkle in the sage, salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a large, rimmed baking sheet, arranging it in an even layer. Bake for 45 minutes, or until everything starts to caramelize and brown at the edges.

Eeek! I was going to make this tonight. The calories aren't bad at all... works out to 238 per person. But, the sodium is OUTRAGEOUS... it is like 980mg per serving. And that is with my substituting "NoSalt" for the salt. I can't imagine if I added salt to it. Eegads. Has anyone found a good LOW SODIUM version of the kielbasa to make this with. I ran the recipe using the Butterball version.

Here's a picture of it. It is still higher in sodium than I would like, with a single serving in the high 700s. But, it was delicious. So, eaten in moderation, it shall remain in my diet. <g>

I stumbled on this while trying to find something yummy to do w/ quinoa...

•1 cup Quinoa, uncooked
•2 cups vegetable broth or water
•1 sweet potato, baked and diced
•1 red bell pepper, diced
•2 tbsp olive oil
•1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
•2 tbsp lemon juice
•salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Simmer the Quinoa in the vegetable broth about 10 to 15 minutes, or until water is gone and Quinoa is light and fluffy when stirred. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Toss together the Quinoa, sweet potato and bell pepper in a large bowl.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and cayenne pepper. Gently toss this dressing with the Quinoa. Season with a generous amount of salt and pepper

Sounds awesome! Glad you shared this gem, just yesterday picked up some Quinoa so I think I'm set.

Sweet Potato Enchiladas
(5 Servings)

10 corn tortillas
2 large sweet potatoes, baked and mashed
Spices to taste: chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, taco sauce or seasoning, salt, cinnamon, etc.
28 oz can enchilada sauce (I use mild red, but green would be good, too). You will have sauce left over
2 oz shredded cheese, optional
Chopped onion, optional

Mash sweet potatoes with seasonings to taste. Mix in about ½ cup of enchilada sauce. Set aside.
Spray 10x13 pan with cooking spray. Dip tortilla in sauce, then fill with 1/10th of the mixture, roll and put in pan. Pour enchilada sauce over enchiladas (eyeball it-you don’t want it swimming, but tortillas will absorb the sauce).

Top with chopped onion. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Uncover, add cheese, and bake another 10 minutes to brown cheese. They freeze well and taste better the next day.

For spices I used cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and red peppers.

WOW, very unique I like that about it, looking forward to trying something similar.

I keep it simple. I like them baked whole with plain Greek yogurt and chives. Sounds strange, but the flavor combination is great.

I love sweet potatoes... plain old boiled or baked is good enough for me but I recently tried a Bobby Flay recipe that was a nice change of pace: Par-boil the sweeties, then slice and brush with cumin, cinnamon and spanish paprika mixed in canola oil. Grill 10 minutes, turning frequently to get nice grill marks. Very yummy!

we do something very similar. Microwave slightly, slice, spray with Pam, sprinkle with cinnamon etc and grill.

LOL, this was the wrong thread to read at night, hungry and out of calories. I am stoked to get new recipe ideas, though. My family always wants me to slice the sweet potatoes like fries, toss in a pan with olive oil, salt and black pepper, and bake them. Very good side dish, but I want to experiment.

One of my favourite veggie combinations is sweet potato, chickpeas and spinach. I posted a soup recipe up on another thread:

Chickpea, Spinach and Sweet Potato Soup

Ingredients
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 onion finely chopped
1 sweet potato diced
1 garlic clove thinly sliced
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
400 g can chickpeas drained
2 tomatoes roughly chopped
1 teaspoon honey
750 ml(11/4) pints hot vegetable soup
225 g (8 oz) young leaf spinach
salt and freshly ground black pepper

1) Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion, sweet potato and garlic for 5 minutes, stirring until beginning to turn golden. Add the cumin seeds, and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the chickpeas, tomatoes and honey and cook for 1-2 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.

2)Stir in the hot stock, bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 10 minutes until the sweet potato is tender

3) Stir in the spinach and cook for 1 minute stirring until the spinach wilts. Season to taste, then ladle into bowls and serve.

Also, the 3 vegetables are delicious in a curry.

This^ is fabulous!! I use them in Moroccan stews and currys all the time. My favorite! Great with added dried apricots too!
